- Welcome to episode 4 of my new guest series, where in each episode features music majors, teachers, professionals or people of other professions watching/reviewing kpop, usually for the first time!
Ep.4 features 2 Eastman School of Music DMs. One is a conductor/composer (and is in charge of ESM's new music ensemble) and the other is a music theory teacher (who has actually taught some of the main series reactors!).
Watch part 1 here: • Ep.4 (Part 1) Conducto...

My goal with this series is to show a wider variety of reactions or reviews, whether it be from other classical music majors from my school or teens/professionals in the business/music/film industry watching kpop for the first time.
Videos from this series will be posted once (or twice if there's a part 1 and part 2 of an episode) a month.
I love these two. Their reactions are like your regular channel reactions but like, on steroids. Just great. Please bring them in again!
Ali Nav. What an interesting way yo put it. I so agree! It's like the regular reactors are Jedi knights in training but here be their Jedi masters, in full grasp of their body of knowledge.
It's interesting how they pick out not just classical elements of the songs but also point of similarities to various genres of pop music, game music, film score etc. A benefit of having two reactors who obviously listen to lots and lots of music... and you've just added kpop into their repertoire :D
Umu! Bring them back another time please? They seem awesome and wanna hear more from them.
I really like Edo and Joseph's reactions! I feel like I learned a lot this video. I would love to see more of them if they want to come back on the channel again!
I appreciate their input on U Need Me and actually agree that the dubstep was a bit much and it is repetitive but it’s still a cool, unique song. Glad one of them said it was their favorite even if it was just the bass he liked lol. SHINee wouldn’t be SHINee if they did what everyone else is doing :) it is, after all, just one of their songs.
the transition from the mind blowing meme to the channel's intro was iconic
Shinee and loona are two of my all time faves! 1of1 is a masterpiece of an album and let me in is pure art.

YAAAS OUR QUEEN AND LEADER MOM HASEUL
JOHΔΠ Ψ
Fancy seeing you here. I love your videos btw.
This was actually very interesting :) I would like to see them back again one day, I would really like to here their opinions on Jonghyun's music. Thank you for the new members :)
Only true intellects appreciate the complexity of the masterpiece that is “Let Me In”
#2K18YearOfLoona
I DIDNT THINK ID FIND U HERE
#LOONA'S #SECRETARY
So cool to find you here. You're like LOONA's Holy Spirit. I'm your fan
of course our leader is here
Hey, it's the head Loonatic. Fancy seeing you here.
oo i think I've seen you on loona amino?? you always seem so familiar!! YOURE EVERYWHERE
Thanks for reacting to SHINee's U Need Me! All their bsides are gold and I'm happy that other people can appreciate it!
Lee Jin Ah deserve that appreciation ♥
I always wondered if a Haseul reaction was going to happen and that curiosity has been answered, thank you
Ikr! I always wanted a reaction to Let Me In ^^
here for haseul 🕊 💚
gloss me too🌙
same
our bird mom
same..
The moment I saw let me in I clicked so fast, love our bird queen Haseul 😍
i'm so glad lee jinah's music is getting recognition on this channel thank you cmr
Lee Jin Ah!!!! "Aww I wanted that to go longer~" HAHAHAHA
Stan LOOΠ∆
These two are fantastic. They showed off their personalities by sharing relevant insights instead of trying to be quirky, funny, or hipsterishly cynical. I hope we see much more of them.
At Lee Jin Ah they both started looking up into nowhere lol
XD
I don't quite understand what makes people reacting on this channel go "OH YEAH" or really like something but I don't even care because that just means they like it (or at least appreciate it) and that makes me happy.
I hadn't heard Lee Jin Ah / Stairs before this and I definitely like it!
Something I've noticed about how I listen to music is that while I enjoy complex songs, I really don't listen to them much. The reason is simply that they are complex. When I listen to music I often do other things, and complex songs are distracting in those cases.
Some music is best listened to in a more isolated environment. When it's just you and the music.
Cottidae The RUclipsr Adam Neely says that he always listens to music critically without fail, which really suggests that there’s no room for listening to music leisurely/in the background. But complex music can be so complex to the point where your brain just takes a back seat and enjoys it for what it is, so it really depends on your personal musical knowledge I guess.
This is why I listen to kpop when I drive or do work. I dont understand the lyrics so it doesnt distract me. Whereas, when I listen to music in English, my mind constantly try to focus on the words 😂
The intro to 'Stairs' absolutely fascinates me - it goes from some huge prog epic to a Vanessa Carlton-style pop song to a 90's sitcom theme all in the first 30 seconds. The album's great, but the baby voice takes a *lot* of getting used to for me.
I'd love to hear them react to AKMU, more IU, Ailee or Lee Hi!
OMG yes ALL of them!
Definitely some Ailee songs!
yess for this
They reacted to IU, its in the previous video
Edit: Nevermind I read your comment wrong. I agree, they seem pretty excited about kpop so maybe they'll come back
Add in VIXX's Fantasy too
"I didn't feel the narrative structure was elaborating any new aesthetic possibilities, for me." :) How can you not love this guy!? And has this ever been said about a kpop song before? :) :) Well said: "This has opened my eyes to a whole new musical world." Excellent!!! :) And that's exactly why I listen to kpop, and Lee Jin Ah. Kudos, Umu! "Stairs" is even better than "Random." Great video! :) ...And just a quick mention of that outro - a tasty piece of BP! :)
SM and JYP or kpop in general work with a lot of swedish composers. I think there's even a program where they send their artists to sweden to work with them. I've heard a lot of producers/composers say that they find kpop a space where they can experiment more.
Lee Jin Ah and Haseul!~
HaSeul starts off like that for almost everyone, but the more you hear it, the more interesting it gets.
I loved Haseul's song for the instrumental tbh. Of course her voice is lovely too, but it was the orchestral instrumental that got me
I saved my thirst in the last video, but I’m still pretty sure the blonde guy gives good hugs 😻
lol preach. I want to know if he's 1. Single, and 2., has an instagram.
*blessed by quality content* Umu - you have my heart
Loved these two reactors so much! It was amazing to see them react with their wealth of knowledge as well as being extremely personable and able to convey their views so well.
music theory teacher by day, captain america by night
LMAO
Love the insight of this pair, really interesting and different from the usual reactors, hope they find time to continue sharing their opinion on kpop with us. By the way I do love SHINee’s you need me, it’s so weird and so good at the same time.
Fantastic! I loved their commentary and loved that they pretty much jammed to every song. Most of the time anyway. And I was so so so happy you used a SHINee song, they are amazing, even when they have songs written/composed/etc for them. Which is rareeee. They are pretty much their own selves. Thank you for this, i am looking forward to the next video, even though sometimes I get sick of girlgroups, I stillam waiting for it. Keep up the good work, and a big thanks to every reactor! And of course, you.
LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE these two reactors and how well they know their music, how musical they are in their reactions and specifically how open they are to all forms of music while expressing their personal preferences at the same time.
I really enjoyed this one. Both of them are absolutely compelling to watch because they are so knowledgable about music and the way they approched each video was really fascinating. It was like taking a mini course on music theory and that was awesome. Thank you for this and thank you for this awesome channel. Hope to see more of these two, they were my favorite reactors of all time.
12:44 “the pianist seems a little nervous” isn’t it because Jinah is doing both singing and piano improv?
prob because you can't really get all her potential piano stuff crammed into a studio recording, it would probably sound like too much. Guess she condensed it for the sake of making it into a recorded pop song. I mean she usually shows us a lot more in a more relaxed kind of way when she's performing live so...
4:12 I may have misunderstood your meaning but from what I heard you said SHINee just sings what others write for them? Because they've actually been writing their own music since 2008; Minho's penned the lyrics to his raps since their first album and later on the others wrote lyrics for full songs, and Jonghyun composed both Odd Eye and Prism.
Anna Watermelon Loves Jonghyun She said THIS song was written for them. But she mentions the members take a part in the making of some of their songs.
everyone idol in that industry does tho. just because they get credited doesnt mean they actually composed it from top to bottom. youd be surprised at how easy it is to get credited.

4:07 "sometimes they participate in writing lyrics" please use your ears
Anna Watermelon Loves Jonghyun i came into the comment section looking for this comment
I thought I might have misunderstood! Thank you
loona🕊💚
Now I'm gonna lose all my night listening to Lee Jin Ah's music. Thank you :)
me rn
AYYAAYAY LOOONA
wow finally someone reacted to U Need Me! This song is really all about that bass haha. It can be too much at first but I love the uniqueness of this song. Thank you for this!!
That moment you dont understand much of what they say but still appreciate that they are breaking things down.
SHINee=Legends. don't forget it.
SHINee
I would love if they reacted to "Feel good" by SHINee, it's such a masterpiece!
Stairs!! That was a pleasant surprise! ^^
I hope youtube is paying you. I know the algorithms changed But for all this quality content I hope you and all who are involved in making this is getting something cause you all deserve it. Especially you Umu!
They have ~600 patreons, so even without youtube they are probably doing ok. They definitely deserve it :)
thank you for reacting to shinee
I love the reaction of this duo! Their analysis is so interesting.
I'm addicted to this channel halp
Lee Jinah is a babeee
I always make sure to like your videos before I watch it! Keep up with the great work!
A SHINEE B-SIDE TRACK AGAIN I AM LIVING
im loving how open-minded everyone is when diving into kpop :)
thank you so much for reacting to U need me!!it might be me who is over sensitive but most experienced idol groups get to select their songs for their own albums rather than simply sing what they were given.they often hold group meetings during preparation period and work on selecting songs and arranging the whole album.maybe it isn't such a big deal but there's a subtle difference( •̥́ ˍ •̀ू )thank you so much for sharing professional opinions with us!
ALSO STAN SHINEE
i love watching these kinds of videos where i don't essentially understand anything that is being said but still ends up thoroughly enjoying the whole thing
i am only here for the kings SHINee
PLEASE keep working with these two reactors, I really love their commentary
Hope we can see them back again with more reactions! I really love their comments!
Guuuuurl! I need more of any series you can dish out! I seriously need them so I can keep relating to the beauty of the genre of k-pop. ❤
STAN LOONA
Yes! That Dirty Loops shout out! I was so happy when them and Shinee finally worked together.
I love these reactors, would love if they could come back!
HASEUL LOVE U
Umu, I love it when you bring the 'older' more experienced guys (and gals?) into the listening room. To hear their take on KPop is always interesting. Thanks for another interesting video.
0:54 BROMANCEEEEE BETWEEN PROFESSORSSSS
Please don't stop at part 2! Love their reactions, really interesting & informative :D Would love if they did a reaction on Hyukoh Tomboy & Wanli, maybe some Dean & Akmu!
Loved this mini-series. I hope you'll bring them back again.
I really like this pair! They're very openminded and have great viewpoints!
Captain America looks so much like a buff Liechtenstein character. Like so intensely “american” i cant lololololol amazing
let me in has always been my favorite loona song and i'm so happy you made people react to it. support haseul ! support loona ot12 ! olivia is coming
Loved both of these guys, bring them back sometime!
This channel is so addictive. I don’t know 70% of the songs they reacted to but I just want to continue watching it. (And I should be studying but who cares about schools? 😂)
UMU girl they didn't participate in "some" of their songs Minho & Key literally wrote 99% of rap since their debut also you Know Jjong & Onew wrote several songs also Jjong participated in so many arrangements and composing They don't Just sing I'm sorry for the rant but facts should be stated sorry :((
Please bring them again. Their reactions are really good. Thank you Umu for this video.
T&E Awesome Show? Good job!!
Another outstanding video Umu! These two were fantastic.
Learned a lot from these two reactors! Please bring them back someday!
It's Haseul not Hasuel

Stan LOONA y'all
Intro on point
Joseph makes me so happy cuz he's handsome and so smart tho, i could listen to his classes every single day omg im in
I don't know music theory, but I enjoy music and singing. This was very interesting although I didn't understand most of what they were saying. I wish they would return and react to the newer music. Thank you for the video Umu I enjoyed it a lot!
I see Loona, I click. Thank you so much for reacting to our momseul!!!
just have someone react to all of f(x)'s 4walls album
u know u need me is a song shinee said they hated the most lol
小兴迷 ummmm when did they said it? I remember they said it's the song that hard to listen to even for them but I dont remember they said they hatE the song
yea they said it's one of the songs they disliked idk if it was becuz of recording it but hamadi was harder for them to record. can't remember when but they def said it.
0:05 ive never seen an ear turn that red haha
I love how they kinda poke fun of lee jin ah at the start there but as she brought herself out throughout the song, they start to look at her seriously
I like these segments
Not even a LOONA stan (yet) but "Let Me In" is bringing me in like its an amazing song and it really just agh so amazing, Haesul's voice is amazing and the song is amazing that's all bye
Help me stan LOONA please
Annefantasy2003 thanks for the info :) ive already checked them out and i love olivia hye and jinsoul but i think haesul is my bias :) so far anyway still learning the members and all their positions but so far i love them and their music
Lee Jin Ahhhhh yeeesss!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
I LOVE their references! Esp the nods to Vijay Iyer, Oscar Peterson, Keith Jarrett and Billy Strayhorn's Lush LIfe. Any other kpop + jazz fans?
Thank you for react to Let Me In! I was always really curious what pro thinks about it. Now it is answered!
